If you think of French style, the relaxed look of French country often springs to mind: tender, intimate, inviting and comfortable. The look has bohemian undertones; the furniture will be antique or reflect older fashions. Bright, airy colours and a mixture of soft, natural, breathable fabrics characterizes it. This calming palette of soft colours and materials is becoming popular for nurseries, particularly for its capacity to be gender neutral. Have a peek at the delicate spaces and use the suggestions to re-create this look for your little one.
1. Mix in linens. Add some texture by upholstering a French country Louis XV–style armchair with neutral linen, using a contrasting white framework. Create a gender-neutral area by mirroring the exact same beige neutrals in additional ornamental elements around the room — such as rugs, paint, bedding and artwork.
2. Utilize a classic table. A classic or classic vest can be a place to change baby’s diaper and give you more comprehensive storage. Make sure the height feels appropriate for both you and your partner. You do not want a poor back from bending too low, and something too substantial means you won’t need hands of the wiggly baby! Also make sure to have enough room for a changing pad and also for lotions and wipes within easy reach.
Paint the dresser white or soft gray to keep the scheme neutral and fresh.

3. Locate an antique-style crib. See if you can look down an antique-style crib. Although it’s tempting to search for a secondhand crib or utilize a family heirloom, it is probably safer for baby to buy a new reproduction. However, feel free to pick antiques for other pieces of furniture, such as dressers, bookcases and rocking seats.

4. Hang a billowing canopy. These sweet canopies seem so very French and have a soft, delicate feel. Utilize a sheer fabric and make sure you take the duvet all the way to the ceiling to create height.
5. Add a little French vocabulary into your own walls. Using stickers or paint, create a personal and touching message in French on your nursery’s walls. When your little one grows older and inquires what it states, he or she’ll feel the love.

6. Contain a chandelier and bell jars. A pretty white chandelier makes a fantastic finishing touch in almost any French-style room. This one feels particularly appropriate for a nursery school, with its little white birds.
Straightforward glass bell jars are pretty on their own, or you can display something meaningful under them. These ones are high up, safely from infant’s way.

7. Hang a vintage-style mirror. Buy a brand new one or spend a little time hunting for something original in a flea market. I love antique glass mirrors that have a worn, aged patina. If you can not find a authentic classic one, try something from an organization that specializes in reproductions.

8. Consider a iron crib. This four-poster iron crib adds a regal touch to the nursery. It’s possible to adhere to dark iron like this, or some painted white would do the job too. Restoration Hardware carries iron stalls in more desperate finishes. Match the ironwork to light fixtures to pull the look together.

9. Add pretty decorative touches. Display delicate floral pictures, a feminine lamp, a decorative mirror, classic photographs or a classic doll onto a dresser or shelf.
10. Use a conventional rug at a modern color. Hunt down a conventional Persian-style rug at a modern neutral color, like this chalky gray. The pale colors soften the overall look, but the carpet still has a conventional finish.
Utilize the colours and shades in the carpet to build the color palette for the rest of the room. This gray rug would make use of almost any washed-out pastel colours, from blues and pinks to lemons and lilacs. For more gender neutral, adhere using grays or beige tones.
